29th San Diego Critics Nominations & Awards
Every year, I seem to miss the announcement of their nominations and find them when I see their awards announced.

The top competitors of the year so far are also the top nominees with the Critics Choice. Conclave and Wicked clearly have piqued their interest while Emilia Pérez continues to perform strongly.
